A beloved husband, father, and longtime car hauler was killed in a tragic industrial accident at a Mixon Town repair shop, leaving his grieving family seeking community support as they face life without him.
Ferrera was killed on June 9 after he became trapped between a semi-cab truck and a power lift system at the Absolute Truck Repair building on 10 Stockton Street.
Jacksonville police said Ferrera was working on a semi-cab truck, which was being placed onto a power lift system. At some point, the semi-cab truck shifted, causing it to fall and trap the man between the lift system and the semi-cab. Though his wife, Staci Ferrera, and her children were not ready to speak, she issued the following statement about her late husband: “He was our everything, our whole world.
Jason lived his life to the fullest every day, viewing each person he met as a friend from that moment on. He was willing to go to the ends of the earth to provide the best for his children, managing to be both strict and their best friend at the same time. If you ever needed someone to help you find your laughter again amidst life’s curveballs, Jason was your go-to guy.
He was among the kindest, most hardworking, and fun-loving individuals you could ever meet, with an insatiable desire to learn and help others in any way possible. He had a unique ability to find the bright side of things, even when it seemed there wasn’t one. Jason started each day before the sun rose and often ended his day well after it had set.
“His family has a hard road ahead of them navigating life without him by their sides. Please help in any way you can, thoughts, prayers, small donations if possible,” the GoFundMe said.
